If I Could Only Write A Song
(written by Mike Bryant) 
(key of E)

If I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me

I've been so many places
And I've seen so many faces in a crowd
So many blank expressions
While the world just slips by them all the while
They never realize the difference
That they could make
If they would only stop and try
And this song that I'm singing, is just my way
To have people ask the question why

(Chorus)

If I could only write a song
And bring the thought of peace to people's minds
If only they could see that love
Is the only way that a mountains ever climbed
I'd write a song of happiness
And send it out for all the world to see
If only I could write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me

(Musical Break)

In my song there'd be no hunger
Around the world there'd be plenty food to eat
And the homeless on the streets would have shelter
And they'd have shoes upon their feet
In the world there'd be no violence
There'd be a kind word for every stranger that you meet
If I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me

(Chorus)

If I could only write a song
And bring the thought of peace to people's minds
If only they could see that love
Is the only way that a mountains ever climbed
I'd write a song of happiness
And send it out for all the world to see
If only I could write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me

I'd write a song of happiness
And send it out for all the world to see
If I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me

Yes if I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me

A Baby Has Been Born
(written by Mike Bryant)
(key of G)

There was a tiny little stable
That stood in Bethlehem one day
Where a couple seeking shelter
Would birth a baby in the hay
And if you looked inside that stable
Then by "God" you were forwarned
That you would witness a great miracle
Cause the Son of God was born

(Chorus)
Can't you hear the Angels singing
Their wondrous songs of praise and glory
As they celebrate this day that Christ is born
(Christ is born-----------)
And a star lights up the Heavens
As it guides them all to him
For they come to witness
This child's birth-----------
There in that stable so forlorn

(Musical Break)

The time had come that all the prophets
Had all told stories for so long
It was told that he would come to teach
A better way than what they'd known
The shephard's came
And soon the wise men too
To see the place in which he lay
They gathered round a tiny manger
To worship Jesus in the hay

(Chorus)
Can't you hear the Angels singing
Their wondrous songs of praise and glory
As they celebrate this day that Christ is born
(Christ is born-----------)
And a star lights up the Heavens
As it guides them all to him
For they come to witness
This child's birth-----------
There in that stable so forlorn

Can't you hear the Angels singing
As they praise the birth of God's own son
In a stable there in Bethlehem
A promise made by God was done

In a stable there in Bethlehem
A promise made by God-------------
Was---------done

8 Seconds At A Time
(written by Mike Bryant) 
(key of D)

Some call him an outlaw
Cause he always lives his life upon the edge
Driving fast, riding hard
While some call him a fool he's still the best
Living life as if there's only one day left to go
Enjoying every moment
He just wants the world to know

(Chorus)
That he lives every day 8 seconds at a time
Like the day's he rode the rodeo
It's the rush he's trying to find
Never caring what the next day brings
As he leaves his love behind
Cause he live's everyday, 8 seconds at a time

(Musical Break)

He holds her as she's crying
And tries to love away her every fear
But the fast life and the fast love
Are the things he does that causes all her tears
As he drives away he can't look back
If he does he'll just give in
It's the hard roads and the heartbreak
As he leaves his love again

(Chorus)
Yes he lives every day 8 seconds at a time
Like the day's he rode the rodeo
It's the rush he's trying to find
Never caring what the next day brings
As he leaves his love behind
Cause he live's everyday, 8 seconds at a time

He live's every day
8 seconds at a time

911 Please Connect Me To Heaven
(written by Mike Bryant / Thomas Long)
(key of C)

(Spoken)
Hello
You have reached
The 911 emergency request line to Heaven
How may I help you today

(Sing)
Operator
Is there a line open to Heaven
Oh is Jesus able to talk to me awhile
Could you please connect me
To the golden throne up high
Because there's questions on my mind to
find out why

Operator
I'm so confused and need his guidance
Because down here they've taken God out of
the scene
And I've read the words that's written in the
Bible, Oh dear Lord
In Revalations
But I'm confused at what it means

(Chorus)
So I'm dialing 911
In hopes to get a line to Heaven
Because I need to talk to Jesus for awhile
It's said he died for all our sins
But now we need him here again
Can't he hear the prayers of his people
through the clouds

911
Please connect me straight to glory
And please make my connection true and strong
I need to find out why
So many innocents have to die
When evil has it's way to doin' wrong

(Musical Break)

(Chorus)
So I'm dialing 911
In hopes to get a line to Heaven
Because I need to talk to Jesus for awhile
It's said he died for all our sins
But now we need him here again
Can't he hear the prayers of his people
through the clouds
